DETAILED DESCRIPTION I. Product Line Features

Turning to FIG. 1, shown is an exploded view of common structure within a mattress product line. The structure 10 includes a top panel 12, a border divided into a ⅔ part 14 and a ⅓ part 15, a zipper assembly 16, bottom panel 13, handles 11 a 11 b, law tags 19, a woven tag 17 and a name transfer 18. The handles 11 a 11 b may be optionally limited to higher-tier models. The ⅓ part 15 may be darker that the ⅔ part 14.

Consistent features within the product line may include: 1) making one third of the mattress border darker than the remaining two thirds (representing that sleeping occupies a third of a lifespan); 2) a universal construction of the shell; 3) branding details; 4) a common bottom panel; 5) use of slub yarn; and 6) use of details common to all models.

Flexible features within the product line may include: 1) overall height; 2) product name; 3) top panel patterns; 4) waterfall height; 5) fabric colors; and 6) top panel loft.

Other consistent features within the product line may include features of the cover, which affects the performance of the mattress. The cover: a) includes textiles that have 1-2% Spandex for better stretch; b) has more inviting and dimensional ticking to the top panels; and c) replaces wool with foam perforation that outperforms wool as a thermal feature.

The covers may include 50% recycled content. Recovered slub yarn may include 50% up-cycled cotton and 50% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The slub yarn produces slub textiles that are cozy yet forgiving.

Top ticking will result in inviting, tactile and communicating comfort. For all-foam mattresses, the top ticking may comprise stripes. For hybrid mattresses including foam and springs, the top ticking may include stripes and circles. The loft of the mattresses may vary with lower-tier mattresses having low loft, mid-tier mattresses having medium loft, and high-tier mattresses having high loft.

A woven bottom panel may be consistent across all mattresses in the product line, which mitigates tearing. High-tier mattresses may include corner handles for easy carrying.

Hardware, including zipper assembly, may be the same across all mattresses in the product line. The zipper assembly may include artwork that shows an open eye when the zipper is pointed in the direction to open the mattress and shows a closed eye when the zipper is pointed in the direction to close the mattress.

Placement of tags having a brand name may be consistent across all mattresses in the product line and may be placed on the foot of the mattress where the ⅓ part meets the ⅔ part.

II. Comfort Features

The product line is designed to provide a “comfortable” mattress that creates a soothing environment for customers helping them improve their mental state before sleep. Comfort may be affected by the perception of visual input, smell, noise, temperature/humidity, pressure/touch, posture/movement, and history+state. The product line may include a top layer of springy, lively, latex-like foam, which instantly adopts to the human body, is better for sex and is highly breathable. A second layer may include a memory foam, which allows a slow sink for pressure relief and cradling effect and has a special formula allows easy movement throughout the night.

The product line may have a continuum of comfort based on mattress construction. Lower-tier mattresses of foam may consist of two layers and have a slightly firm feel and be eight or 10 inches in height. Mid-tier mattresses of foam or foam+springs may consist of three layers, have a basic signature feel and be 11 inches in height. Other mid-tier mattresses of foam or foam+springs may consist of four layers, have an improved transition feel and be 12 inches in height. High-tier mattresses of foam or foam+springs may consist of five layers, have a signature feel with latex and a softer feel and be 13 inches in height.

III. Ergonomics Features

The product line is designed to provide an ergonomic design where proper posture leads to less back pain and better sleep. The idea is to provide the proper zoning support for the human body, since if the mattress is too soft or too firm, there will be no such zoning.

Turning to FIG. 2, shown is a block diagram of a foam zoning system in a mattress layer. The system 20 consists of three zones, with firmer foam 22 under hips and softer foam 24 a 24 b under the shoulders and legs.

Turning to FIG. 3, shown is a block diagram of contour cutting in a mattress layer using computer numerical control (CNC). Shown is a mattress layer 70 with a smooth sections 72 a 72 b 72 c 72 d and cut sections 73 a 73 b 73 c. The layer is created using a computer-controlled saw to remove material from the cut sections 73 a 73 b 73 c, softening the mattress. Since this uses 2D shapes only, no tooling is required, and the layer can be easily modified. There may be 33 points of support tailored to the human body.

Turning to FIG. 4, shown is a block diagram of surface modification technology (SMT) used on a mattress layer. The SMT layer 30 includes alternating sets of wide pods 31 a 31 b 31 c and narrow pods 32 a 32 b, each of which contains numerous points of support that respond to different sleep positions. There may be 425 individual points of support. Turning to FIG. 5, shown is a schematic of a human body using surface modification technology on a mattress layer. The schematic 40 shows the effect on the front/back of the human body 41 and the side of the human body 42. Shaded circles show where support is applied and how 425 individual points of support respond to different sleep positions. Construction of this SMT layer removes material in 3D shapes and thus tooling is required.

Turning to FIG. 6, shown in a block diagram of a surface modification technology with gel pods used on a mattress layer. The SMT layer 50 is similar to the SMT layer 30 in FIG. 3 with the addition of gel pods 52 in the center. This provides firmer support area in the hips. The liquid nature of the gel fills voids and solidifies. The gel increases effectiveness of ergonomic feature in smaller thickness and increases durability.

The product line may have a continuum of ergonomics zones based on mattress construction. Lower-tier mattresses of foam may have two foam layers with no special zones and may have a height of eight inches or 10 inches. Mid-tier mattresses may be 11 inches in height and: a) have three foam layers with the middle layer having foam zoning in three parts; or b) have two foam layers with the lower layer having foam zoning in three parts and a spring layer below. This may result in soft shoulder support and firm hip support. Other mid-tier mattresses may be 12 inches in height and: a) have four foam layers with the third layer having CNC zoning in five parts; or b) have three foam layers with the lower layer having CNC zoning in five parts and a spring layer below. This may result in much softer shoulder support, firm abdomen support, and slightly softer pelvis support with 33 support points. Top-tier mattresses may be 13 inches in height and: a) have five foam layers with the fourth layer having SMT with gel pods+continuous gel zoning; or b) have four foam layers with the lower layer having SMT with gel pods+continuous gel zoning and a spring layer below. This may result in vary gradual zoning and a left-to-right response with 425 support points.

IV. Thermal Features

Harsh fluctuations in temperature or humidity can disrupt sleep through the night. The product line is designed to provide a proper thermal environment that helps a user arrive in an eased state of mind at bedtime

Thermal performance may be evaluated based on the time frame. For immediate time periods (<5 minutes), thermal performance may include “cool to the touch”, cause immediate sensation, and be important for initial bedtime state of mind. For short-term time periods (5-60 minutes), thermal performance may be barely noticeable immediately and helps ensure moderate temperature during sleep onset and early sleep stages. For long-term time periods (>60 minutes) thermal performance may not be noticeable immediately and help prevent deep sleep disruptions due to temperature.

Thermal performance may be enhanced by the use of highly breathable foams, which allow free movement of air that allows warm air to get away from the human body. These foams are best in short-term effectiveness as determined by foam chemistry. It is best practice to use foams that have minimum airflow requirements.

Thermal performance may be enhanced by the use of phase change material (PCM) where “packets” of gel are applied to foam. Gel is solid at room temperature and melts with human body heat and sucks heat away creating a “cooling” feeling. It provides an immediate effect when against skin and is effective in short and long term depending on the coverage.

Turning to FIG. 7, shown is a system 60 of mattress layers 62 64 having perforations. These perforations are similar in concept to breathable foams. Thermal performance can be effective in short and long term. The perforations can be drilled or punched and is typically limited to the top two layers but can go deeper.

The product line may have a continuum of thermal features based on mattress construction. Lower-tier mattresses of foam may have two open cell foam layers. Other lower-tier mattresses of foam may have two open cell foam layers with one layer perforated. Mid-tier mattresses may have open cell foam layers with one layer perforated; hybrids may have springs that increase airflow. Upper-tier mattresses may have open cell foam layers with two layers perforated and CNC air channels on two sides; hybrids may have springs that increase airflow. Other upper-tier mattresses may have open cell foam layers with three layers perforated, double-layer PCM gel, and four sides of SMT air channels; hybrids may have springs that increase airflow.

The general differences between foam and hybrid mattresses include: for foam, lighter weight, less motion transfer, and more universal support since springs are somewhat more spread out); for hybrid, with springs, smoother sink transition, bouncier, more durable, and better airflow.

F. Summary

Turning to FIG. 24, shown is a block diagram of the feet of eights mattresses in a product line 240. Five foam-only mattresses on the left show a tier-1 mattress 241, a tier-2 mattress 242, a tier-3 mattress 243, a tier-4 mattress 244, and a tier-5 mattress 245. Three hybrid mattresses on the right show a tier-1 mattress 246, a tier-2 mattress 247, and tier-3 mattress 248.

The feet of the mattresses shows important information about each mattress. Since the twill pattern (if any) on the top of the mattress also extends to the top of the foot, the nature of the loft of the mattress (whether high, medium or low) can be perceived from the foot alone. The branding of the mattress is on the foot. The colors of the ⅓ part may differ depending on whether the mattress is foam-only (darker) or hybrid (lighter). The height of the mattress may convey the tier of the mattress with taller mattresses representing higher tiers.

The advantage of placing this amount of information on the foot of a mattress is that in an environment where many mattresses are present (such as on a retail sales floor), the nature of each mattress may be rapidly discerned merely by looking at the mattress foot.

The look of a hybrid mattress may differ from the look of a foam-only mattress in several ways. First, the hybrid mattress may have circle patterns of different twill patterns on the top and foot of the mattress, which are absent in the foam-only mattress. Second, the ⅓ part of the hybrid mattress may be lighter than the ⅓ part of the foam-only mattress where both ⅓ parts are darker than the ⅔ part. Third, the branding of the hybrid mattress may have an additional moniker not present in the foam-only mattress (here, an “H” superscript).

The look of the foam-only mattress may differ among the tiers in several ways. First, higher tiers of mattresses are taller. Second, higher tiers of mattresses have a higher loft. Specifically, tier-1 mattresses have the highest loft, tier-2 mattresses have a medium loft, and tier-3 mattresses have the lowest loft. The lowest tier-4 and tier-5 mattresses have no loft.

The look of the hybrid mattress may differ among the tiers in several ways. First, higher tiers of mattresses are taller. Second, higher tiers of mattresses have a higher loft both for the first twill pattern of essentially straight parallel lines and the second twill patterns of essentially straight parallel lines in a different direction forming circle patterns. Specifically, tier-1 mattresses have the highest loft, tier-2 mattresses have a medium loft, and tier-3 mattresses have the lowest loft. Third, higher tiers of mattresses have larger second twill patterns of essentially straight parallel lines in a different direction forming circle patterns. Specifically, tier-1 mattresses have the largest circles patterns, tier-2 mattresses have medium circle patterns, and tier-3 mattresses have the smallest circle patterns.
